Le Domaine Nantais

Weddings · Receptions · Corporate Retreats

A restored estate just 10 minutes south of Nantes. A 1.5-hectare walled park, light-filled spaces, a single event at a time.

The Spirit of the Estate

Weddings have been celebrated here since 1774

Weddings have been celebrated at la Censive since 1774 — it was in the estate's chapel that the "seigneur de la Censive" gave his daughter's hand in marriage.

Two and a half centuries later, Le Domaine Nantais carries on the tradition: the founding venue of Lieux d'Exception, just ten minutes from the Nantes ring road, it brings together what many believe to be irreconcilable — the countryside, with its hectare-and-a-half walled park, and the city, a mere quarter of an hour from the airport and the heart of Nantes.

Fully restored in 2025, it welcomes your weddings, receptions and corporate retreats on a wonderfully human scale: up to 160 seated guests in the Grande Salle, and 400 guests in the park.

Weddings

A ceremony in the park, drinks under the trees, dinner in the Great Hall: a country wedding that spares your Nantes guests the drive.
